As you all go to bed tonight spare an extra thought and prayer for FNQ.

I know your all watching events as they unfold and I know you will do what you can after the event.

For those of you with Family up in the area of TC Yasi I hope all turns out well.

Maybe show your support in some way Pre and Post.

Best of luck qld'ers... I've got a godson (and his family I guess) living in townsville, in the surge zone. The baby is on high ground but my mate - for some stupid reason, stayed.

I'd be gone.

Got aunt Maud & aunt Ruby in Cairns

Got uncle George & aunt Marion in Earlville/Cairns

Got cousin David, his wife Heather and 2 kids in Cairns hinterland - they're the only ones who are safe from storm surge (at least).

If the eye crosses south at Innisfail,

* any towns to the north suffer less than the towns to the south of the eye - due to cyclones in the southern hemisphere spiralling clockwise

* the town of Innisfail itself has more cyclone-proof buildings than any other town pro-rata after it was rebuilt post cyclone Larry in '06

* better still if the hurricane/typhoon crosses in a low population spot

Prayers for all to be safe if poss.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
